what's cooking wednesday - leftovers

So it's well documented that my Mom is a go big or go home kind of lady. She's from Polish stock, one of five kids so large family dinners are just that..... large.

While we worked and froze our behinds off at Touch a Truck my sweet Mama was here preparing a feast... roast beef, mashed potatoes, veggies and salad. In the end we had 6 extra people join us for dinner and there was still enough left overs to sink a sizable ship.

So what to do with all those leftovers?

In a flash of genius, Mike shredded what was left of the roast beef and heated it up in a pan with a nice big squirt of our favourite bbq sauce. We served it on buns, with some diced onion and cheddar. They were beyond delicious. I think they would have been amazing with some coleslaw, but alas we had none.

Usually roast beef leftovers are a tough sell around here. The kids don't like them and I'm not a huge fan either once it's sat in the fridge over night. This was a definite home run though. Can't wait to have it again.




What is What's Cooking Wednesday and how can I play?

What's cooking Wednesday was born out of a desire to get out of that what's for dinner rut. Playing is easy, on Wednesday post a recipe that has been tried and tested by you and then pop over here and add your name to the Mr. Linky. When entering your name also add the name of the recipe in brackets and make sure you link to your What's Cooking Wednesday post and not just your blog's front page.

*All front page links will be deleted!*
*Posts that aren't linked back will be deleted*
*Posts that don't include some sort of a recipe will be deleted*

Don't make me be a jerk. And don't forget to link back here, the home of What's Cooking Wednesday.

So for example I would write Shan (Speedy Chicken Stir Fry) in the name section. For the URL section I would post this: http://shanrev.blogspot.com/2007/10/whats-cooking-wednesday-speedy-chicken.html

I'll let you in on a little secret, my WCW recipes are almost never made on a Wednesday. So feel free to cook and photograph whenever you have time and join us posting on Wednesday
